Kendrick V., no last name provided, had been playing his favorite slot machine for about an hour when he hit the jackpot of $479,390.93.

The Atlanta man said he plans to pay off his mortgage with his winnings.

This win continues a series of jackpots at the IP Casino, which has awarded more than $2 million in jackpots this year. Another Atlanta resident, Lance T., also was playing the Willy Wonka slot in February when he won and a Coast resident, Hoang N. of Pascagoula, hit a jackpot at IP in March.
